Chapter 8 Worksheet: Meaning in Dictionaries
1. Define each of the following words using your own knowledge. DO NOT
LOOK THESE WORDS UP IN THE DICTIONARY. You can read Chapter 8

Some may need more than one definition. Do not include more than two definitions.)
Remember to bring your own dictionary to class so we can compare your definition
with your dictionary's definition.
